Community Service

WA CARES

Williams Adley Community Action by Responsible Employees in Service (WA CARES), is the firm’s community service committee that addresses the current and future needs of our metropolitan area. WA CARES uses direct employee participation and corporate sponsorship to support those organizations and projects that empower others to excel. Our primary efforts are centered on feeding and clothing men, women, and children; educating youth; and raising funds for health causes and disaster relief.
